Depositing Money in the Bank

Question
Is it permissible to keep money in banks and use what is excess for our daily living?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: If there is no Islamic bank in the country, it is permissible to deposit money in a usurious bank if there is a clear need for it, and any interest earned should be given as charity; because it is an unlawful gain that is not permissible, and God knows best.
